I guess the Mithriacs are supposed to be a stand in to avoid controversy, but I'm gonna venture a guess that Christianity is still a going concern in 200 years. Also I don't know if they're supposed to be connected to the ancient Roman religion or why they became sun worshippers in an extremely technologically advanced society.

Yeah I'm just being picky. Gotta say, I don't love Travis Fimmel in this, I don't know what accent he's going for and his line reads seem off. I think he's an intense actor who does good when he gets to do a lot of physical acting, but I don't think he's a good actor.

gently caress the sun I fuckin hate the sun. Long live the fuckin beast.Victis posted:What you don't think 'permanently having to take a painful cry-poo poo' intensity is good acting It's ok when you're a laconic Viking king with blue eyes of that intensity. But in this, for example, his read of "You bet!" when his kid asked if he'd have made a good soldier...yeesh.

Also the image above the altar for the baptism ceremony is a replica of universal actual Roman Cult of Mithras iconography, the man in a phrygian cap sacrificing a bull (while a scorpion stings the bull in the ball bag but it's too small in the show to see). Dunno if that's important or just aesthetics. As I recall but won’t look up, Mithraism was at its peak in the late Western period as was worship of sun deities like Zeus-Amun and Sol Invictus. Constantine himself was a pretty big Sol Invictus guy until he converted, and even then it's possible he was worshipping some syncretized Christ-sun god collab. Again, dunno if that's important! E: I lied and looked it up, sol worship was the official religion of the empire starting in the 3rd century, so I guess everyone was a big Sol Invictus guy. Maybe this is an alternate universe where Christianity ended up being secondary to Roman religions which persisted even until now, or maybe it's just aesthetics or a very loose historical scaffolding like the War of the Roses was for asoiaf zoux fucked around with this message at 18:37 on Sep 20, 2020 |
